Atlanta Hawks (21-19) at Boston Celtics (29-12) Game #42 1/18/25

More bench Joe. Bench = energy.

White is now 6 of 41 going from three back over the last 5.5 games.

Now 6 of 42.

Its tough to win a game where Tatum is 2 of 9 and you shoot 5 of 23 from three. The only reason they are in it right now is they are winning the turnover battle and the offensive rebound battle, so they've taken nine more shots than the Hawks.

[Surferdad]

Now they have stopped running guys off the 3-pt line.

Luke Kornet cannot guard anybody in this league, and he can?t shoot, and he can?t rebound, and he has stone hands. He is not an NBA-level player. Sorry.

White, bro, pass the dang ball! You have been shooting awful the past month including tonight going 1-6 from three. Who are you to look off open shooters to call your own shot?

Not that I disagree about White's shooting, but the entire team went cold in the 2nd lol

How the hell is Kornet the scapegoat here?

Not only his fault tonight, but in general I just do not like him as a player.

Admittedly I?m just tuning in now but looking at the box score, Kornet is the best player on the team ,ha.
5-7 on a team shooting 35%, 6 rebounds 5 offensive, 4 steals and 3 blocks in 15mins of play.

He's got 12 points, 6 rebounds, and actually goes to the right spot.  He's one of the few guys that didn't play like crud in the 2Q.

This is all about White, Tatum and JB sucking tonight. Started missing shots, blew the two 3 on 1 fast breaks and the Hawks have not been stopped since.

When this team can't score they play no defense

This is a poor effort

[jpotter33]

Luke has done a fine job tonight thus far, but he's just so limited athletically. Like the first play of the game, he's just not quick enough and gives Trae way too much space off the PnR for the floater that is nearly automatic.

[Phantom255x]

And off to a bad start in the 3rd... 

[jpotter33]

Hmm, Trae waves off the ref and no technical foul. That's an automatic technical foul for JT.

[Silas]

Can't believe Jrue missed that bunny.

[celticinorlando]

This team just sucks. go west and never come home please.

[Indocelts]

Can we trade Brown for somebody who can guard his man?
